NOTES:
If installing the oven near a left sidewall, make sure there is at
least 3" (7.6 cm) of clearance between the wall and the oven,
so that the door can open fully.
Some cabinet and building materials are not designed to
withstand the heat produced by the oven for cooking. Check
with your builder or cabinet supplier to make sure that the
materials used will not discolor, delaminate or sustain other
damages.

For Wall Venting Installation Only:
The 12" x 4" (30.5 x 10.2 cm) cutout area (see "Wall Venting
Installation Only" in the "Mark Rear Wall" section) must align
with the wall damper vent on the back of the oven (see "Wall
Venting Installation Only" in the "Convert Oven to External
Venting" section).
Cutout must be free of any obstructions so that the vent tube
fits properly, and the damper blade opens freely and fully.
For Roof Venting Installation Only:
If using rectangular to round transition piece, 3" (7.6 cm)
clearance needs to exist above the oven so that the damper
blade can open freely and fully. See "Rectangular to Round
Transition" illustration in "Venting Design Specifications"
section.
